This was probably one of the toughest teams he could face. Great plate discipline.  Grayson needs to throw competitive sliders and curves.  They spit on both of them because they know he can’t throw them consistently enough for strikes.

He pitched inning 1 like inning 9 of WS game 7.   Had a feeling he was going to run out of gas.  That said, his stuff was pretty electric.  He missed a few pitches badly, but overall was making pitche

Tough crowd. I thought he pitched great. He got a bit unlucky, then got gassed, but otherwise kept it together. To quote my mom: “that pitcher who came in after him wasn’t very good.”

And he'd have been fine if the defense had done its job.

He didn't look like a totally new guy yet but he looked more like the April guy who was doing ok with good peripherals than the May guy who unraveled with all those HRs. 

Looking just at strike%, he was at about 65% tonight which is where he was hovering in April. 

In his May starts he was consistently at around 60%.

The defense was bad tonight. Hicks, Frazier, O’Hearn and Adley did Grayson no favors.

But Grayson looked relatively like the same guy, throwing several uncompetitive pitches. His last pitch of the game was atrocious. Until he can command his pitches better, I don’t really see an effective starter, definitely no someone you want to pencil in with our season on the line. It may not click for him until next year, if then? 

It takes time for young players to figure it out and some still never do. I hope he can do a 180 this year, but nothing tonight that I saw points to that.

He was pitching against the LA Dodgers one of the best offensive team in baseball.  A team that is in first place with 5 starters on the IL.  Grayson pitched just fine.

The Dodgers the caliber of team that we will see in the Fall. I’m not saying that he was bad but he definitely wasn’t good either. He allowed a ton of baserunners tonight and he still through a bunch of uncompetitive pitches (like before he was sent down).

I was at the game.  I thought Grayson pitched okay, not great but good enough.   He threw the fastball and change up well, got a few sliders and curves in there.  The last inning, he looked tired.  

He pitched inning 1 like inning 9 of WS game 7.   Had a feeling he was going to run out of gas.  That said, his stuff was pretty electric.  He missed a few pitches badly, but overall was making pitches he needed to.  If the D makes plays he pitches 6 innings and gives up 1 or 2 runs against a top shelf offense.  I don’t see how anyone could be anything but encouraged by his outing.

We must have watched two completely different games.

      It takes Orioles rookies 60 or 70 at bats to get their first two hits.

      Tell me how can Harbaugh help him when he doesn't know how to help himself. Harbs is the worst at burning timeouts stupidly then not having any when they are needed at crunch time.

      9/15: O's Head Home After A Loss To The Tigers

      By Baseball fandom · Posted

      Yes the same here. They are going to the playoffs and yet I have no feeling towards it whatsoever. Weird feeling. Like you just know they are going to get bounced in the first round. It looks inevitable. I mean you could make a case the Tigers are more deserving of the Orioles spot. They are playing some great baseball of late.

      Man Baltimore sports has not been kind. The Orioles are on a  3 month tailspin and the Ravens did what they do best and blew another double digit 4th quarter lead to a inferior team.  Let's see if the Orioles can right the ship,  though I'm not holding my breath on that one at all. Yikes.

      Idk how impactful this was, probably pretty low on the list of problems, but this is the 2nd straight week that Lamar threw the ball late in the game and the receiver was unable to get oob.  The ball to Bateman is probably excusable because we had more time on the clock and we needed the deep ball to be in position to make a run, but this time throwing a 12 yard dump to Andrews was just straight up stupid IMO.  I get that they're going to play outside leverage all day every day in this situation but just throw it away and try to take another shot.  Lamar has to have more clock awareness than that,  and Harbaugh has to instill in him the importance of saving those seconds on the clock.

      FIX THE DANG HITTING!

      By now · Posted

      Sorry but that response from Fuller sounds to me like too many words, concepts, abstractions, and if that's how he communicates, wordy and convoluted, it's a lot for hitters to carry "into the box." Not to mention all the specifics involved, re. what pitches and locations to look for, all the analytics of how to do the swing and torque the body, etc. I'm no coach but I can imagine a whole season of this approach just becomes information overload. Maybe it's not rocket science, after all (with all due respect to ex-NASA Sig). Maybe the antidote is more Zen: just see the pitch and hit the dang thing.  BTW I think the analytical, overthinking approach is better suited to the pitching side, where you can plan your attack based on all the data. Hitting is more reaction, no time to think. You can't beat pitching using the same approach--rather, need the opposite approach, to counter with instinct and intuition. At least, that's my cheap (2 cents) advice!

      The proposition that every auction automatically results in an overpay is simplified indeed.  Granted, "kind of true" is a low bar to clear, but still...
